Domain Authority
Definition
Domain Authority (DA) is a metric developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine result pages. It's calculated by evaluating multiple factors, including linking root domains and the number of total links, into a single DA score. Scores range from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater ability to rank.
While Google Search Console doesn't directly provide Domain Authority scores (as it's a third-party metric), the data it offers on your site's performance and link profile can be valuable in understanding and potentially improving your overall domain authority.
